UFC on FUEL TV 1 results in four medical suspensions, final attendance 7,120

The Nebraska State Athletic Commission issued medical suspensions to four fighters from this past weekend's UFC on FUEL TV 1 event.

Lead inspector Brian Dunn today emailed the results to MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com).

Markes defeated Aaron Simpson via split decision during a main-card bout. The middleweight must get a physician's clearance on his right hand before he can return to competition.

Facing 30-day suspensions are Vagner Rocha, Philip De Fries and Herman, who all suffered knockout losses.

As MMAjunkie.com previously reported, UFC officials initially estimated an attendance of 6,283 and a live gate of $405,895. Nebraska officials don't have an official gate figure available.

According to Dunn, drug testing was conducted at the show, but results aren't available. Fighter purses/salaries were not disclosed.

UFC Fight Night: Diaz vs Neer had a crowd of 9,103 in the same venue back in 2008.

Guess it wasn't packed. The Omaha Civic Auditorium has a 9,300 capacity for basketball games.

And Omaha isn't going to release the numbers on how many of the people in attendance paid for their tickets and weren't freebies given away by the UFC (usually several hundred of those)
